**update of sorts**
so, my brother's friend Opie (Josh is his name) has been sorta staying here, well, here more than anywhere else. I love him to death like a brother but man! he got kicked out this past week from his mom's. His car isn't running and he's been borrowing his sister's. He was at the park and had laid the keys on top of his jacket. They got stolen. His mom apparently went off, he told her fuck you, she told him to get out, he did. So, the first night he stayed with my brother though we thought he was staying here as Jeff told him he could that night. He showed up the next day at like 10 am or so. I was like why aren't you at school. He said fuck school, he was failing anyway and wouldn't be able to graduate so he wasn't going. He would just go and get his GED. He stayed that night which was Thursday night. He apparently was getting sick with a bad cough and cold. I doped him up on some tylenol and ibuprophen cause he had a bad headache. The next day he didn't go to school so I was like oook. He slept most of the day and then just laid on the couch all, ALL, day. Man, I can't do shit like cleaning and stuff when I have people here. Tends to be why my place gets so messy on the weekends with the kids and hubby. But yea, he didn't leave! I knew he probably wouldn't being as he had no car and all his friends were in school...where and what would he do? So, nothing got done. This was Friday. Well, afterschool he did leave and went to the park. Later on him and my brother showed up and were both planning on staying the night. They never ask, they just don't leave lol. Ugh! I went to bed that night around 11 but was back up at 12:30 because i heard people talking. When we went to bed Gordy was still here and Jeanna, I knew, would probably come by cause she usually does. Jeff told him not to tear the place up basically and we went to bed. Well, I heard quite a few voices and decided to go down and see who all was in my house. There was Dan (my bro) and Opie which I knew were gonna be here, Gordy, Jeanna, John, and Israel. I was like oook. Jeanna was happy I was awake so I stayed up with her but I told her not long because I had to babysit the twins the next day and I wasn't drinking either. They were all pretty drunk by this time. They left around 2 and I couldn't sleep and ended up reading till like 3:47. I get up at 9:17 am. Just in time to make a cup of coffee and have the twins dropped off. Dan and Opie were up but after awhile I noticed Opie stretched back out on the couch and went back to sleep. I was like....uh, wtf? My brother came out and was telling me that mom was picking him up and they were going to this battlefield re-enactment. I asked him if Opie was going and he said that he didn't know, why? I was like cause I have big issues with people just laying around or sleeping all day especially on my couch. Granted he's sick but still. Not so sick he couldn't go to the park and wherever else they went the night before. So, when Dan was leaving I (who was in the kitchen) heard him wake up Opie and asked him if he wanted to go with him. I didn't hear what Opie said but as my brother walked out the back door i asked him and he said no he wants to sleep. AHHHH! Geez, I was up just as late as they were, actually I was up later and I couldn't sleep! But later that evening my bro came up and they ended up leaving to go to my mom's where they stayed. The next day (sunday) is Tristins birthday party so I'm not expecting them. It's at 2:30 so it's pointless for them to leave really. My brother can't drive now cause he lost his license for 3 months so it would just be idiotic to have mom or dad bring them out for an hour or two just to get picked back up. GUESS WHAT? They came out. They sat on my living room floor, right in the way of everything, and played magic cards (like pokemon cards). Me and Jeff were like wtf? They couldn't have done this at mom's? I asked Jeff if he wanted to get out the tiddleywinks and he said no he wanted to play a barrel of monkeys. lmao. So, when it was time to go to the party (Jeff wasn't going cause he was sick now thanks to Opie) I told my boys to get their jackets and started gathering up the gifts and my purse. I saw them get up as well. I was like are you going with me? Dan's like yeah. I was like uh, could have told me this sooner. Seriously, what if Jeff had gone? I mean yeah they could have squeezed into the back seat with the boys but still what makes them think we want them too? They never freaking ask they just assume. So we went to the party...later when it was time to go my sis came back to get her kids. She had to leave early to get her other daughter but the party wasn't over so I told her that I would take them with me and she could get them later but since we were still there she just came there and got them. We decided to leave then to so my other sis wouldn't have to keep fighting the twins to get back in. My bro, Opie and Will were playing magic cards at the table (again) and Will didn't want to. I was like tough get your shit. So I was trying to hurry them up before dan and opie tried to come. Luckily we got out the door and almost to the car before michael realized he didn't have his candy from the pinata. i told them to get in the car and ran back in to get it. sure enough there was opie with his jacket on standing there looking like he was about to leave. i grabbed the candy and acted like i didn't notice, went back out to the car and left. I would just play it off as they didn't say anything so I wouldn't know they wanted to come. I figured they'd make their way out anyways but they didn't. I thought YES!! last night when opie didn't come in. I was like I can finally clean. Psh. This morning after the Jeff and the kids left I was sitting here doing one of my layouts and here he comes. F U C K!! He came in and said that my mom said if I needed any help packing let her know. Then sat on the couch and started reading. I left to go to the store to get some cigs and mainly walk off my frustration. I get back and he's still here. There was this slight hope he would leave but no. So I started cleaning upstairs so I wouldn't have to see him. Later I came down to check my messages and get a drink and the doorbell rings. There's some older dude there and asked for Josh. I was like who? Then it dawned on me, Opie. We call him Opie all the time that Josh doesn't really ring a bell when someone says it. So, YES!! He's gone. I don't know for how long. I don't know if that was his father or step-father but I'm sure it was one of them. I'm sure that he knew he was getting picked up cause he had his bookbag and another pair of shoes which I never saw any of until today. I just wish he would have said so earlier so that I wouldn't have been so frustrated. But he didn't know so oh well. I'm happy either way. lol. I feel bad cause I was in his spot too and I know how it is. But now that I'm on the other end of it I regret knowing that I mooched off people and what people must have thought of me when I did it too. He thinks his mom blames him for someone stealing the keys and it wasn't his fault. I'm pretty sure that it's because he's lazy and irresponsible but she didn't really explain that or she did and he didn't care. Who knows? When you 18, your always right, the parents are always wrong. Usually.
